  • Shanghai, China Overview Introduction
    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction The name Shanghai still conjures images of romance, mystery and adventure, but for decades it was an austere backwater. After the success of Mao Zedong's communist revolution in 1949, the authorities clamped down hard on Shanghai, castigating China's second city for its prewar status as a playground of gangsters and colonial adventurers. And so it was. In its heyday, the 1920s and '30s, cosmopolitan Shanghai was a dynamic melting pot for people, ideas and money from all over the planet. Business boomed, fortunes were made, and everything seemed possible. It was a time of breakneck industrial progress, swaggering confidence and smoky jazz venues. Thanks to economic reforms implemented in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping, Shanghai's commercial potential has reemerged and is flourishing again. Stand today on the historic Bund and look across the Huangpu River. The soaring 1,614-ft/492-m Shanghai World Financial Center tower looms over the ambitious skyline of the Pudong financial district. Alongside it are other key landmarks: the glittering, 88- story Jinmao Building; the rocket-shaped Oriental Pearl TV Tower; and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The 128-story Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China (and, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the second-tallest in the world). Glass-and-steel skyscrapers reach for the clouds, Mercedes sedans cruise the neon-lit streets, luxury- brand boutiques stock all the stylish trappings available in New York, and the restaurant, bar and clubbing scene pulsates with an energy all its own. Perhaps more than any other city in Asia, Shanghai has the confidence and sheer determination to forge a glittering future as one of the world's most important commercial centers.

    ENJOYING BONSAI and HORTICULTURE PAGE 1 / 4 Practical Travel Guide - 812 ENJOYING BONSAI and HORTICULTURE What is BONSAI ? Bonsai is one of Japan’s most traditional cultural arts originating in the Kamakura Period (12th century). With trees, flowers, grass and stones in a small pot or tray, it expresses the beauty and spaciousness of a natural land- scape. Its object is to create these landscapes as beautifully as nature, and sometimes using wire or by cutting branches so that any kind of plant can grow healthy in pots. Accordingly, Bonsai is said to be a “Never-completed Art” enabling one to pursue the pleasure of everlasting nurturing.

Rochester, NY 14445 2021 Words From the President Greetings BSOP, I hope everyone is enjoying the snow and winter weather that this month has brought us - I personally love seeing snow fall in the bonsai garden. While the pandemic has halted our in-person gatherings, I hope you have and plan to take advantage of our digital program- ming. We're offering two Zoom presentations each month until the pandemic passes, with no summer break. This month I'll be giving a program on deciduous nebari techniques, and later Ryan Neil will be giving a BSOP sponsored public stream on February 23rd, and will be giving a private BSOP members-only Repotting Q&A session on February 24th. We have some of the biggest names in bonsai presenting to our club this year on Zoom, so please tune in and catch a program. In spite of this winter weather, it's time to start thinking about repotting season, if you haven't already! Make sure you protect repotted bonsai from freezing temperatures and wind. Bonsai undergoing a drastic repot might even appreciate a heat pad. For aftercare, typically 3-4 weeks in the greenhouse after repotting is a good guideline, but keep an eye on the weather.

In Japan bonsai has an ancient history borne of nature. Bonsai is enlightenment and brings peace. It is well known and appreciated. It's the duty of all of us that love bonsai to keep alive this "torch of peace. In doing so, they learn from nature and learn a philosophy of life. Even a person who doesn't understand bonsai can appreciate and be moved by its beauty. The power of bonsai is in its ability to portray the utmost beauty of nature. This is the goal for all who grow bonsai. There are three important things to consider:. First, the roots. When looking at an old tree, the roots form the foundation and gives strength. This is impressive and inspiring. Strong roots of large tree protect other smaller trees in a flood or a storm. These firmly rooted trees give us a feeling of stability and security. In the case of a bonsai, this should also be true. Second, the trunk and the way it's formed. In the case of a solitary tree, its especially important as to how the trunk emerges from the roots and the rising taper that it develops. After many years the aged characteristics and bark appear and you can sense the added character and personality of each tree. Third, the branches. These face the sky and are balanced and must have sunlight to flourish.

The Japanese started offering flowers to the dead, particularly to Buddha around sixth century when Zen Buddhism was introduced in the country. Initially, monks used to arrange flowers in order to decorate the altars of temples. Later, in the Heian Period (794-1192), floral arrangement became a popular trend in all segments of the Japanese society; however, the commoners adopted the trend as a fashion which was independent of their earlier religious believes. Japanese lifestyle and fashion saw large scale changes during Kamakura period (1192-1233) and people started adopting newer and unique styles of floral decoration.

De situering van tuin en gebouwen van de paleizen uit de Japanse Heian tijd was het resultaat van bescheiden aanpassingen van de bestaande topografie. (Dit proefschrift) 2. Planten werden in de Heian paleistuin geplant om een stemming weer te geven, niet omwille van een estetisch beeld. Deze stemming berustte op het oproepen en herkennen van welbekende poëtische thema's, onlosmakelijk verbonden met bepaalde plantensoorten. (Dit proefschrift) 3. Vroeg veertiende eeuwse tuinen in Japan, die vormgegeven zijn met gebruikmaking van Chinese kompositietheoriën uit de Song landschapsschilderkunst, zijn ontworpen door Chinezen. (Dit proefschrift) k. De opkomst van een groep van professionele, maar ongeletterde tuinenmakers in de tweede helft van de middeleeuwen in Japan, droeg bij aan het totstandkomen van een vormgeving die het scheppen van taferelen ten doel had, welke gewaardeerd werden op uiterlijke schoonheid. (Dit proefschrift) 5. De Japanse 'droge landschapsstijl' (karesansui) is als zodanig in de twintigste eeuw gedefinieerd. (Dit proefschrift) 6. Het valt op zijn minst te betwijfelen dat middeleeuwse tuinenmakers in Japan de bedoeling hadden de Zen filosofie tot uitdrukking te brengen. De gedachte dat de Zen filosofie met materiële vormen in een tuin tot uitdrukking gebracht wordt dateert uit de dertiger jaren van deze eeuw. (Dit proefschrift) 7. De inrichting van de Japanse zestiende eeuwse theetuin was in de grond van de zaak funktioneel.

  • Kagawa Bonsai Flourishing Around the World
    KAGAWA BONSA I Kagawa Bonsai Flourishing Around the World About Kagawa Prefecture Shikoku is Japan's fourth largest island, southwest of Japan's main island Honshu, and is divided into four prefectures: Kagawa, Tokushima, Ehime and Kochi. Situated in the northeast part of Shikoku, Kagawa is the Japan’s smallest prefecture and is connected to Honshu by the Seto Ohashi Bridge which crosses the Seto Inland Sea at the north. Kagawa is blessed with rich nature and a gentle climate which is warm through the seasons with little rain and long sunshine durations. Attracted by such abundant climate and geographic advantage, the Japanese government and private sectors set up many of their branches and offices in the capital of the prefecture, Takamatsu City and make the city as a hub of Shikoku.
